THE Boston 7mceNcr suggests the
importance of keeping registry of
railway passengers as means of idcnti'
fication in case of accident. 1t would
be a hard thing TO do in the rush and
confusion usually attending the de-
parturo of trains, but the system may
not be entirely impracticablc, and its
advantages are apparent.

and in the afternoon at another. There
he waits until the bundle is thrown off and

takes his paper in his mouth and immedi-
ately starts for home If the weather is
rainy lac has a piece of oil skin which is
kept in place where lac can get il himself.
and of his own accord he carries this with
him. and the station master wraps it around

that it may not get wet On his return

A few days ago party of 1000 men and
boys went on grand wolf hunt in Sar-
geant township, Douglas county, five miles
north of Oakland, ILL., The scene of the
hunt was a large tract of pasture and
woods, 1000 acres or more in extent, bound
ed on the west by the Ambraw rivef and
line of hills For the past year, wolves
have been destroying sheep and hogs in
that vicinity as many as ~ wolves in
pack being sighted at time. Four differ
ent lines, under charge of as many captains
were organized. Then hounds. 300 in mum
Der, were turned loose. No one was allow
ed to carry firearms. The sport soon be
gan in earnest. The baying of the hounds
could be heard all over the township. The
first two wolves started up ran to the east
line and were killed by the dogs, aided with
clubs in the hands of the hunters 4 gang
of five more wolves We're next sighted.
Three of these were killed ON the north
line, one on the northeast line. The remain
ing one slipped through the line and eS-
capped, as the hunters would not allow the
dogs to get out of the lines Three more
wolves We're started upon the west line and
soon killed Two more were started up in
the big pasture One was killed and the
other cripped and brought to the city The
hunt was a success

ample material for forming a tolerably ac-
curate idea of the appearance of this won
derful man, That he was tall, swarthy,
awkward and unconventional in dress and
manner, are the broad outlines of any con
ception of him. But no one who has not
stood face to face with the man can ever
realize life-like idea of the great original.
As he rose-and seemed to keep risng--be-
fore me, his hair was black, coarse and of
unkempt appearance, his nose prominent,
his cheek bones high, his cheeks very hol-
low, his complexion swarthy, his manner
gracious, but subdued, while his eyes had
an expression that find myself incapable
of describing, as though they lay in am
bush in their deep caverns, ready to spring
forth or retreat further within, as location
required, He was awkward, but il was the
awkwardness of nature, which is akin to
grace. The expression of his face was
earnest, with a shade of sadness, and his
voice was soft and at times as tender as n
